Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of airborne fire control, and in particular relates to a method for solving unmanned fixed-wing collaborative illumination guidance points. Background Art

[0002] Helicopter-UAV coordinated operations are a typical application of future helicopter warfare. In coordinated ground strike operations, manned aircraft can use real-time mission planning to guide UAVs and helicopters to jointly complete reconnaissance, detection, identification, positioning, and attack missions against enemy targets.
